you
00:00:41.580 00:00:41.590 welcome back the objectives of this
00:00:44.170 00:00:44.180 particular lecture are to describe
00:00:47.230 00:00:47.240 salient features of some of the
00:00:48.670 00:00:48.680 important types of evaporators discuss
00:00:53.230 00:00:53.240 thermal design aspects of refrigerant
00:00:54.970 00:00:54.980 evaporators present correlations for
00:00:58.270 00:00:58.280 estimating heat transfer coefficients
00:01:00.040 00:01:00.050 and discuss Wilson's plots so at the end
00:01:05.170 00:01:05.180 of the lecture you should be able to
00:01:07.620 00:01:07.630 describe important features of some of
00:01:09.910 00:01:09.920 the important types of evaporators
00:01:12.210 00:01:12.220 explain the complexities to be
00:01:14.230 00:01:14.240 considered in the design of refrigerant
00:01:15.850 00:01:15.860 evaporators estimate heat transfer
00:01:19.060 00:01:19.070 coefficients using the correlations
00:01:20.620 00:01:20.630 presented and finally use the concept of
00:01:23.770 00:01:23.780 wilson's plot and estimate various heat
00:01:25.690 00:01:25.700 transfer coefficients so let us look at
00:01:30.340 00:01:30.350 a very important type of evaporator
00:01:32.650 00:01:32.660 called a shell and tube type evaporator
00:01:35.790 00:01:35.800 the as the name implies this kind of an
00:01:38.320 00:01:38.330 evaporator consists of a shell and a
00:01:39.940 00:01:39.950 large number of straight tubes arranged
00:01:42.070 00:01:42.080 parallel to each other in dry expansion
00:01:45.730 00:01:45.740 type the refrigerant flows through the
00:01:47.620 00:01:47.630 tubes while in flooded time or
00:01:49.380 00:01:49.390 refrigerant flows through the shell so
00:01:51.490 00:01:51.500 let me show the picture of a dry
00:01:53.410 00:01:53.420 expansion type shell and tube type
00:01:54.700 00:01:54.710 evaporator so this particular picture
00:01:57.520 00:01:57.530 shows that a shell and tube type
00:01:58.960 00:01:58.970 evaporator where the refrigerant flows
00:02:01.540 00:02:01.550 through the tubes you can see that the
00:02:02.860 00:02:02.870 refrigerant flows through the tubes
00:02:05.410 00:02:05.420 while the water flows through the shell
00:02:07.440 00:02:07.450 okay so this is a two pass you can call
00:02:11.050 00:02:11.060 this as a to pass as far as the
00:02:12.340 00:02:12.350 refrigerant is concerned because the
00:02:13.660 00:02:13.670 refrigerant flows through tubes like
00:02:15.340 00:02:15.350 this then takes u-turn and again it
00:02:17.770 00:02:17.780 flows in this direction and finally
00:02:19.300 00:02:19.310 leaves the evaporator here okay in any
00:02:24.370 00:02:24.380 shell and tube type of evaporators
00:02:26.020 00:02:26.030 baffles are provided in the shell side
00:02:28.720 00:02:28.730 you can see that these are the baffles
00:02:30.160 00:02:30.170 shown okay the purpose of the baffles is
00:02:33.130 00:02:33.140 to avoid stagnant zones and also to
00:02:35.770 00:02:35.780 improve turbulence so that you can get
00:02:37.390 00:02:37.400 good heat transfer coefficient on the
00:02:39.280 00:02:39.290 shell side for example you can see that
00:02:40.840 00:02:40.850 because of the presence of the baffle
00:02:42.430 00:02:42.440 water is forced to flow like this okay
00:02:45.759 00:02:45.769 so short circuiting of water is
00:02:47.410 00:02:47.420 prevented thereby you can get good heat
00:02:49.420 00:02:49.430 transfer coefficient and the stagnant
00:02:51.220 00:02:51.230 regions can be
00:02:52.660 00:02:52.670 of course a baffle so increase pressure
00:02:54.970 00:02:54.980 drop through the shell side so the
00:02:57.070 00:02:57.080 baffles have got to be optimized so this
00:03:00.340 00:03:00.350 is the direct side expansion type shell
00:03:03.220 00:03:03.230 and tube type evaporator as I said since
00:03:05.140 00:03:05.150 the refrigerant flows through the tubes
00:03:07.230 00:03:07.240 at the end of the tube you can have
00:03:09.550 00:03:09.560 super heating okay that means what
00:03:11.020 00:03:11.030 refrigerant goes out can be a
00:03:12.820 00:03:12.830 superheated vapor okay now let us look
00:03:16.990 00:03:17.000 at the other features the shell
00:03:22.809 00:03:22.819 diameters normally range from 150 mm to
00:03:25.270 00:03:25.280 1.5 meters the number of cubes may be
00:03:28.840 00:03:28.850 less than 50 to several thousands and
00:03:30.970 00:03:30.980 the length of the heat exchanger may be
00:03:33.220 00:03:33.230 between 1.5 meter to 6 meters normally
00:03:38.560 00:03:38.570 steel tubes are used with ammonia while
00:03:40.270 00:03:40.280 copper tubes are used with freon and
00:03:42.130 00:03:42.140 when we use freons the heat transfer
00:03:43.690 00:03:43.700 coefficient obtained on the refrigerant
00:03:45.670 00:03:45.680 side is typically small so we normally
00:03:47.949 00:03:47.959 use what is known as integrally fin
00:03:50.050 00:03:50.060 tubes on the refrigerant side whereas in
00:03:52.870 00:03:52.880 case of ammonia since the heat transfer
00:03:54.490 00:03:54.500 coefficient is large fins are not
00:03:56.289 00:03:56.299 required their dry expansion type
00:04:02.170 00:04:02.180 evaporators uses fins inside the tube
00:04:04.660 00:04:04.670 that means on the refrigerant side while
00:04:06.520 00:04:06.530 flooded type uses fins outside the tubes
00:04:08.800 00:04:08.810 because in the flooded type refrigerant
00:04:10.600 00:04:10.610 flow from the outside of the tubes dry
00:04:13.870 00:04:13.880 expand expansion type requires less
00:04:15.880 00:04:15.890 refrigerant and has positive lubricating
00:04:18.430 00:04:18.440 oil returned that means the lubricating
00:04:19.900 00:04:19.910 oil returned to the compressor is
00:04:21.130 00:04:21.140 ensured in dry expansion type and the
00:04:23.740 00:04:23.750 amount of refrigerant charge required
00:04:25.300 00:04:25.310 inside the system is also less and these
00:04:29.950 00:04:29.960 dry expansion type shell and tube type
00:04:31.630 00:04:31.640 evaporators are normally used for small
00:04:33.880 00:04:33.890 and medium capacity refrigeration plants
00:04:35.710 00:04:35.720 that means the capacity ranges from
00:04:37.810 00:04:37.820 about 2 tons to 350 tons whereas the
00:04:42.310 00:04:42.320 flooded type evaporators are available
00:04:44.080 00:04:44.090 in larger capacities ranging from 10
00:04:46.480 00:04:46.490 tons to thousands of tons okay in a very
00:04:49.659 00:04:49.669 large plants flooded type evaporators
00:04:51.490 00:04:51.500 are used so now let us look at flooded
00:04:56.230 00:04:56.240 type shell and tube evaporator as I have
00:05:00.909 00:05:00.919 already mentioned the liquid that means
00:05:02.409 00:05:02.419 the external fluid which is usually
00:05:05.380 00:05:05.390 the brine or water which is to be
00:05:07.120 00:05:07.130 chilled flows through the tubes and the
00:05:10.630 00:05:10.640 refrigerant is fed through a float valve
00:05:12.310 00:05:12.320 which maintains a constant level of
00:05:13.990 00:05:14.000 liquid refrigerant in the shell both
00:05:17.620 00:05:17.630 single and multi pass arrangements are
00:05:19.150 00:05:19.160 possible and these are also available in
00:05:22.330 00:05:22.340 vertical configuration since the shell
00:05:26.050 00:05:26.060 is not completely filled with liquid
00:05:27.730 00:05:27.740 refrigerant super heating is also
00:05:28.870 00:05:28.880 possible so this picture shows the
00:05:32.110 00:05:32.120 flooded type shell and tube evaporator
00:05:35.080 00:05:35.090 as I have already told in this case
00:05:37.530 00:05:37.540 refrigerant is on the shell side okay
00:05:40.300 00:05:40.310 where are the water flows through the
00:05:41.860 00:05:41.870 tube side again this is a two pass
00:05:43.720 00:05:43.730 arrangement as far as water is concerned
00:05:45.100 00:05:45.110 because water flows through the tubes
00:05:46.840 00:05:46.850 like this takes a u-turn and again flows
00:05:49.540 00:05:49.550 back in this direction okay so that
00:05:51.970 00:05:51.980 means the water crosses the refrigerant
00:05:53.890 00:05:53.900 path twice so there you call this as two
00:05:56.170 00:05:56.180 paths arrangement okay
00:05:58.000 00:05:58.010 you can see that the this is the liquid
00:06:02.230 00:06:02.240 refrigerant level okay liquid
00:06:05.110 00:06:05.120 refrigerant level so the this is
00:06:09.190 00:06:09.200 maintained by a float one and the entire
00:06:11.500 00:06:11.510 shell is not filled with liquid okay you
00:06:13.360 00:06:13.370 can see that there is an empty space in
00:06:15.190 00:06:15.200 which refrigerant vapour is there but
00:06:16.840 00:06:16.850 not the liquid okay this is required to
00:06:19.210 00:06:19.220 prevent the exit of liquid refrigerant
00:06:21.970 00:06:21.980 liquid droplets along with the vapour
00:06:24.160 00:06:24.170 okay and since you have some space above
00:06:27.430 00:06:27.440 the liquid level super heating is also
00:06:29.140 00:06:29.150 possible in this kind of arrangement
00:06:31.710 00:06:31.720 okay
00:06:37.750 00:06:37.760 now let us look at shell end coil type
00:06:40.940 00:06:40.950 evaporator these are of smaller capacity
00:06:44.360 00:06:44.370 than the shell and tube type these are
00:06:48.080 00:06:48.090 made of one or more spiral shape bare
00:06:50.090 00:06:50.100 tube coils enclosed in a welded shell so
00:06:52.730 00:06:52.740 this is almost similar to shell and coil
00:06:54.440 00:06:54.450 type condenser which was discussed in an
00:06:56.570 00:06:56.580 earlier lecture insulin call type
00:07:00.680 00:07:00.690 evaporator refrigerant can flow through
00:07:02.360 00:07:02.370 the coil in direct expansion type or
00:07:04.790 00:07:04.800 through the shell insulated type in
00:07:09.290 00:07:09.300 direct expansion type the large amount
00:07:11.180 00:07:11.190 of water in shell provides what is known
00:07:13.370 00:07:13.380 as a holdup capacity that means a large
00:07:16.040 00:07:16.050 thermal storage capacity is provided by
00:07:18.410 00:07:18.420 the amount of water in the shell and
00:07:19.790 00:07:19.800 this square is known as holdup capacity
00:07:22.450 00:07:22.460 and this type is good for small but
00:07:26.120 00:07:26.130 highly infrequent peak loads now let us
00:07:30.980 00:07:30.990 look at double pipe type evaporator as
00:07:32.720 00:07:32.730 the name implies this is almost similar
00:07:34.550 00:07:34.560 to in construction to the double pipe
00:07:36.620 00:07:36.630 type condenser they again this consists
00:07:41.060 00:07:41.070 of two concentric tubes the refrigerant
00:07:43.100 00:07:43.110 flows through the annular passes while
00:07:44.810 00:07:44.820 the liquid being chilled flows to the
00:07:46.760 00:07:46.770 inner tube in parallel flow or counter
00:07:48.860 00:07:48.870 flow these may be used in flooded as
00:07:52.670 00:07:52.680 well as direct expansion mode this type
00:07:56.510 00:07:56.520 of evaporator requires more space than
00:07:58.790 00:07:58.800 other designs shorter tubes and counter
00:08:02.480 00:08:02.490 flow gives good heat transfer
00:08:03.440 00:08:03.450 coefficient and outer tubes need
00:08:07.250 00:08:07.260 insulation to minimize heat leaks
00:08:08.900 00:08:08.910 insulation is required because there are
00:08:10.850 00:08:10.860 refrigerant flows through the annular
00:08:12.290 00:08:12.300 space okay and refrigerant temperature
00:08:14.210 00:08:14.220 is much lower than the ambient
00:08:15.650 00:08:15.660 temperature so to reduce heat leaks you
00:08:18.380 00:08:18.390 have to insulate the outer tubes as far
00:08:20.990 00:08:21.000 as the space occupied is concerned the
00:08:23.750 00:08:23.760 shell and tube type evaporators occupy
00:08:26.120 00:08:26.130 much less space compared to other types
00:08:28.100 00:08:28.110 of evaporators and the volume is also
00:08:30.890 00:08:30.900 quite small okay that is the reason why
00:08:32.690 00:08:32.700 the shell and tube type of evaporators
00:08:34.250 00:08:34.260 are very commonly used in large capacity
00:08:36.829 00:08:36.839 systems okay whereas the tube in tube
00:08:39.920 00:08:39.930 types of systems which occupy more space
00:08:42.230 00:08:42.240 are generally used in smaller capacity
00:08:44.690 00:08:44.700 systems okay now let us look at the next
00:08:48.050 00:08:48.060 type this is what is known as body load
00:08:50.810 00:08:50.820 type of
00:08:51.410 00:08:51.420 Reiter's this kind of an evaporator
00:08:55.100 00:08:55.110 consists of a large number of horizontal
00:08:56.930 00:08:56.940 pipes stacked one on top of other and
00:08:59.570 00:08:59.580 connected together by headers to make
00:09:02.270 00:09:02.280 singular multiple circuits the
00:09:05.630 00:09:05.640 refrigerant is circulated inside the
00:09:07.250 00:09:07.260 tubes either in flooded or dry mode that
00:09:09.770 00:09:09.780 means you can have flooded evaporator or
00:09:11.750 00:09:11.760 dry expansion type evaporator the liquid
00:09:16.460 00:09:16.470 to be chilled flows in a thin layer over
00:09:18.890 00:09:18.900 the outer surface of the tubes the
00:09:22.310 00:09:22.320 liquid flows down by gravity from
00:09:23.780 00:09:23.790 distributed pipe located on top of the
00:09:25.940 00:09:25.950 horizontal tubes now let me show the
00:09:27.740 00:09:27.750 picture of Barlow type of evaporator so
00:09:36.470 00:09:36.480 this is the header okay so this is one
00:09:40.250 00:09:40.260 header on this side and this is another
00:09:43.130 00:09:43.140 header header on the refrigerant Inlet
00:09:45.140 00:09:45.150 and your Inlet side okay this is the
00:09:47.090 00:09:47.100 header on the outlet side so to this
00:09:49.160 00:09:49.170 header a large number of refrigerant
00:09:51.230 00:09:51.240 tubes are connected these are the
00:09:52.610 00:09:52.620 refrigerant tubes okay refrigerant tubes
00:09:58.270 00:09:58.280 through which the refrigerant flows so
00:10:01.070 00:10:01.080 the refrigerant enters into the header
00:10:03.170 00:10:03.180 and from the header it enters into the
00:10:05.450 00:10:05.460 parallel several parallel tubes okay and
00:10:08.480 00:10:08.490 it extracts heat from the cool liquid
00:10:11.060 00:10:11.070 being chilled and it exists from this
00:10:13.040 00:10:13.050 header okay so from this header it goes
00:10:15.710 00:10:15.720 to the compressor now the liquid being
00:10:18.470 00:10:18.480 chilled for example milk it enters into
00:10:21.320 00:10:21.330 the header which is kept at the top okay
00:10:23.450 00:10:23.460 you can call this as header or
00:10:24.860 00:10:24.870 distributor this has several nozzles
00:10:26.960 00:10:26.970 okay you can see that these are all the
00:10:28.510 00:10:28.520 nozzles are okay through these nozzles
00:10:35.540 00:10:35.550 the liquid that is being chilled falls
00:10:38.720 00:10:38.730 onto these refrigerant tubes okay
00:10:41.270 00:10:41.280 because of gravity so gravity is in this
00:10:42.950 00:10:42.960 direction so liquid falls on the tubes
00:10:45.110 00:10:45.120 and it trickles down right and finally
00:10:49.070 00:10:49.080 it gets collected in the bottom tank
00:10:51.200 00:10:51.210 right the chilled milk or chilled water
00:10:53.990 00:10:54.000 gets collected in this bottom tank okay
00:10:58.480 00:10:58.490 from the bottom tank it is taken out
00:11:00.830 00:11:00.840 right so if you look at a single tube
00:11:03.920 00:11:03.930 you will find that you have
00:11:05.210 00:11:05.220 a single tube like this okay this is the
00:11:09.350 00:11:09.360 wall of the tube through this tube
00:11:11.540 00:11:11.550 refrigerant is flowing and outside you a
00:11:14.030 00:11:14.040 thin layer of liquid gets collected okay
00:11:18.710 00:11:18.720 outside you have liquid layer okay this
00:11:24.679 00:11:24.689 liquid is the liquid that is being
00:11:25.970 00:11:25.980 chilled so since this has a small
00:11:28.790 00:11:28.800 thickness the heat transfer will be
00:11:30.920 00:11:30.930 quite effective here okay so this is
00:11:33.350 00:11:33.360 known as bordello type evaporator so the
00:11:42.110 00:11:42.120 as you can see that the liquid to be
00:11:44.090 00:11:44.100 chilled is open to atmosphere that means
00:11:46.009 00:11:46.019 it is at atmospheric pressure hence its
00:11:48.710 00:11:48.720 aeration may take place during cooling
00:11:52.360 00:11:52.370 bottle evaporator is widely used for
00:11:54.829 00:11:54.839 cooling milk or cooling wine and for
00:11:56.960 00:11:56.970 chilling water for carbonation in
00:11:58.879 00:11:58.889 bottling plants one advantage of this
00:12:02.600 00:12:02.610 kind of an evaporator is that the liquid
00:12:04.790 00:12:04.800 can be chilled very close to its
00:12:06.290 00:12:06.300 freezing temperature since freezing
00:12:07.879 00:12:07.889 outside the tubes will not damage the
00:12:09.889 00:12:09.899 tubes okay so this is one of the
00:12:11.860 00:12:11.870 advantages of bottler type of evaporator
00:12:16.780 00:12:16.790 next let us look at the direct expansion
00:12:19.189 00:12:19.199 plate fin and tube type evaporator this
00:12:21.470 00:12:21.480 as the name implies the plate fin and
00:12:23.179 00:12:23.189 tube type evaporator is constructional
00:12:25.189 00:12:25.199 II similar to plate fin and tube type
00:12:27.619 00:12:27.629 condenser okay so you hear the external
00:12:30.499 00:12:30.509 fluid is a right incase of condenser
00:12:33.679 00:12:33.689 also the external fluid is air and the
00:12:36.049 00:12:36.059 refrigerant flows through the tubes so
00:12:37.670 00:12:37.680 in case of plate fin and tube type of
00:12:39.230 00:12:39.240 evaporator also the refrigerant flows
00:12:41.360 00:12:41.370 through the tubes while the air flows
00:12:43.490 00:12:43.500 outside the tubes okay
00:12:47.139 00:12:47.149 these evaporators are used for cooling
00:12:49.670 00:12:49.680 and unifying the air directly by the
00:12:51.799 00:12:51.809 refrigerant flowing in the tubes the
00:12:54.889 00:12:54.899 liquid refrigerant enters from top
00:12:56.509 00:12:56.519 through a thermostatic expansion valve
00:12:59.350 00:12:59.360 this arrangement makes the oil returned
00:13:01.879 00:13:01.889 to compressor better rather than feeding
00:13:03.559 00:13:03.569 refrigerant from the bottom of the coil
00:13:05.569 00:13:05.579 then the fin spacing varies from 50 to
00:13:09.259 00:13:09.269 500 fins per meter length so let me show
00:13:12.290 00:13:12.300 the picture of this so you can see that
00:13:14.439 00:13:14.449 construction Lee this is almost similar
00:13:16.460 00:13:16.470 to your plate fin and tube type
00:13:17.990 00:13:18.000 condenser
00:13:18.980 00:13:18.990 okay so the refrigerant which flows
00:13:21.320 00:13:21.330 through this tube enters at the top
00:13:23.380 00:13:23.390 right it flows like this through the
00:13:25.850 00:13:25.860 tube okay and it leaves the evaporator
00:13:31.250 00:13:31.260 at the bottom of course you can have
00:13:33.170 00:13:33.180 several rows of such tube that means you
00:13:36.320 00:13:36.330 can have one row behind the other and
00:13:38.210 00:13:38.220 outside you have the fins and these fins
00:13:40.430 00:13:40.440 remember their plate fins okay that
00:13:42.410 00:13:42.420 means if you look from the side you have
00:13:44.390 00:13:44.400 the fin and these are the tubes okay so
00:13:50.120 00:13:50.130 this is the side view if you see from
00:13:51.980 00:13:51.990 the side and here the air which flows
00:13:57.290 00:13:57.300 over the tubes and fins it gets cooled
00:14:01.240 00:14:01.250 as it comes in contact with the
00:14:03.530 00:14:03.540 evaporator surface and depending upon
00:14:05.900 00:14:05.910 the surface temperature it may also get
00:14:08.080 00:14:08.090 dehumidified there okay that means both
00:14:11.630 00:14:11.640 the temperature as well as the moisture
00:14:13.340 00:14:13.350 content of eight may reduce as the air
00:14:15.680 00:14:15.690 flow through flows through this kind of
00:14:17.570 00:14:17.580 an evaporator okay and as I said
00:14:23.480 00:14:23.490 normally the fringe spacing varies from
00:14:25.310 00:14:25.320 50 to 500 fins per meter length and
00:14:29.420 00:14:29.430 evaporators the atmospheric water vapor
00:14:31.280 00:14:31.290 condenses on the fins and tubes when the
00:14:33.560 00:14:33.570 metal temperature is lower than dew
00:14:35.120 00:14:35.130 point temperature actually this is one
00:14:36.800 00:14:36.810 reason why the design of evaporators
00:14:40.280 00:14:40.290 that especially where air is external
00:14:43.520 00:14:43.530 fluid is quite complicated compared to
00:14:46.280 00:14:46.290 condensers because when the refrigerant
00:14:49.220 00:14:49.230 temperature is low and when the surface
00:14:51.320 00:14:51.330 of the evaporator is rated at a
00:14:53.120 00:14:53.130 temperature lower than the corresponding
00:14:55.220 00:14:55.230 dew point temperature of air then the
00:14:57.320 00:14:57.330 moisture in the air will condense that
00:14:59.060 00:14:59.070 means on the evaporator surface you have
00:15:01.190 00:15:01.200 both heat as well as mass transfers okay
00:15:03.920 00:15:03.930 so in the design of the evaporator is
00:15:05.300 00:15:05.310 you have to consider both heat transfer
00:15:07.100 00:15:07.110 rate as well as mass transfer rate the
00:15:09.110 00:15:09.120 mass transfer rate will give rise to
00:15:10.580 00:15:10.590 latent heat transfer rate that means
00:15:12.470 00:15:12.480 both sensible as well as latent heat
00:15:14.510 00:15:14.520 transfer rates have got to be considered
00:15:15.950 00:15:15.960 while designing the evaporators for
00:15:19.220 00:15:19.230 cooling and dehumidifying applications
00:15:21.050 00:15:21.060 and as we have discussed in our earlier
00:15:23.030 00:15:23.040 lectures cooling and dehumidification is
00:15:25.520 00:15:25.530 mainly required in air conditioning
00:15:27.350 00:15:27.360 plants of course in some of the cold
00:15:29.300 00:15:29.310 storages also cooling and humidification
00:15:30.860 00:15:30.870 is required okay so
00:15:32.750 00:15:32.760 one of the common requirements and as I
00:15:35.720 00:15:35.730 said the difference between a plate fin
00:15:38.300 00:15:38.310 and tube type evaporator and condenser
00:15:40.310 00:15:40.320 is that in the condenser a does not
00:15:42.650 00:15:42.660 undergo any latent heat transfer whereas
00:15:44.480 00:15:44.490 in the evaporator both sensible as well
00:15:46.400 00:15:46.410 as latent heat transfer takes place on
00:15:48.110 00:15:48.120 the air side also okay and if the
00:15:52.910 00:15:52.920 surface temperature is less than zero
00:15:54.620 00:15:54.630 degree centigrade then frost also may
00:15:56.389 00:15:56.399 form that means whatever liquid
00:15:57.980 00:15:57.990 condenses it will also freeze if the
00:16:00.590 00:16:00.600 surface temperature is lower than zero
00:16:02.660 00:16:02.670 degree centigrade this happens in
00:16:05.000 00:16:05.010 domestic refrigerators and all you must
00:16:06.740 00:16:06.750 have seen the evaporator of domestic
00:16:08.750 00:16:08.760 refrigerator being covered with a thick
00:16:10.340 00:16:10.350 layer of frost because the evaporator
00:16:12.530 00:16:12.540 operates at a temperature much lower
00:16:14.480 00:16:14.490 than zero degree centigrade in a
00:16:16.189 00:16:16.199 domestic refrigerator hence for low
00:16:19.759 00:16:19.769 temperature coils so what is the
00:16:21.740 00:16:21.750 consequence of this we have to consider
00:16:23.900 00:16:23.910 this one while designing so what is done
00:16:26.000 00:16:26.010 is for low temperature coils that means
00:16:28.189 00:16:28.199 a coils which operate at low
00:16:30.290 00:16:30.300 temperatures such that frosting may take
00:16:33.410 00:16:33.420 place avoid finishing that means about
00:16:36.079 00:16:36.089 80 to 200 fins per meter is used to
00:16:39.170 00:16:39.180 avoid blockage of flow passes due to
00:16:41.329 00:16:41.339 frost formation that means you cannot
00:16:43.430 00:16:43.440 afford to have very close fins when
00:16:47.059 00:16:47.069 there is a possibility of frosting
00:16:49.129 00:16:49.139 taking place on the outside okay if the
00:16:51.410 00:16:51.420 fin spacing is very close then if frost
00:16:53.960 00:16:53.970 forms then the frost will very soon
00:16:55.960 00:16:55.970 block the it passages okay once the my
00:16:59.660 00:16:59.670 passes are blocked air cannot flow okay
00:17:02.750 00:17:02.760 so that is the reason why in evaporator
00:17:06.169 00:17:06.179 is used for domestic refrigerators or in
00:17:08.059 00:17:08.069 cold storages where frosting takes place
00:17:10.370 00:17:10.380 the fin spacing has got to be wider so
00:17:13.370 00:17:13.380 as I have mentioned in an earlier slide
00:17:14.720 00:17:14.730 the fin spacing is normally between 50
00:17:16.850 00:17:16.860 to 500 fins per meter as long as there
00:17:20.270 00:17:20.280 is no frost formation okay the frost
00:17:21.919 00:17:21.929 formation is there then the fin spacing
00:17:23.840 00:17:23.850 varies from about 80 to 200 fins per
00:17:26.659 00:17:26.669 meter and then the commercial
00:17:29.000 00:17:29.010 evaporators you will find that the fin
00:17:30.919 00:17:30.929 spacing or may not be uniform okay
00:17:33.409 00:17:33.419 especially if the fin is not plate fin
00:17:35.539 00:17:35.549 tube type okay in a typical in domestic
00:17:38.030 00:17:38.040 refrigerators and all the fins are
00:17:40.130 00:17:40.140 provided in asada in such a way that at
00:17:42.020 00:17:42.030 the inlet where the frost formation is
00:17:44.060 00:17:44.070 much faster the fin spacing is high
00:17:46.520 00:17:46.530 okay and as the a gradually moves up the
00:17:50.060 00:17:50.070 fringe spacing is gradually reduced so
00:17:52.340 00:17:52.350 that you can have higher heat transfer
00:17:54.200 00:17:54.210 okay so this is a very important aspect
00:17:56.420 00:17:56.430 to be considered in the design of
00:17:58.460 00:17:58.470 evaporators which are likely to get
00:18:00.980 00:18:00.990 frosted okay and the since so you cannot
00:18:06.130 00:18:06.140 allow the frosting to take place
00:18:08.270 00:18:08.280 continuously frequent frequent
00:18:10.040 00:18:10.050 defrosting is required in air
00:18:14.630 00:18:14.640 conditioning applications a typical
00:18:16.220 00:18:16.230 fringe spacing of 1.8 mm is used that
00:18:18.890 00:18:18.900 means in air conditioning applications
00:18:19.880 00:18:19.890 the fin spacing can be slightly higher
00:18:22.520 00:18:22.530 compared to the evaporator used in
00:18:25.010 00:18:25.020 domestic refrigerators because in air
00:18:26.840 00:18:26.850 conditioning applications water
00:18:28.850 00:18:28.860 condenses but it does not form frost if
00:18:32.330 00:18:32.340 it forms frost then frost cannot leave
00:18:34.520 00:18:34.530 the evaporator surface okay it sticks to
00:18:37.130 00:18:37.140 the evaporator surface then it is a it
00:18:39.080 00:18:39.090 starts blocking the airflow passage
00:18:41.690 00:18:41.700 whereas if water only condenses then due
00:18:44.540 00:18:44.550 to gravity it can trickle down okay it
00:18:46.310 00:18:46.320 will not affect the air flow passage
00:18:48.170 00:18:48.180 that is reason why in air conditioning
00:18:49.820 00:18:49.830 applications the fin spacing is much
00:18:51.680 00:18:51.690 smaller compared to a domestic frost
00:18:54.830 00:18:54.840 free evaporator okay now let us look at
00:19:00.830 00:19:00.840 plate surface evaporators plate surface
00:19:05.180 00:19:05.190 tur one type of plate surface evaporator
00:19:07.220 00:19:07.230 is also known as roll bond type
00:19:08.570 00:19:08.580 evaporator and this is normally used in
00:19:11.030 00:19:11.040 conventional domestic refrigerators okay
00:19:13.940 00:19:13.950 that means not automatic refills but or
00:19:16.360 00:19:16.370 refrigerators in which the frosting has
00:19:18.350 00:19:18.360 to be done manually okay so let me show
00:19:20.840 00:19:20.850 the picture of a roll bound type
00:19:22.430 00:19:22.440 evaporator this is a roll bound type
00:19:26.290 00:19:26.300 evaporator okay so it basically consists
00:19:30.830 00:19:30.840 of a plate which consists of revver
00:19:32.900 00:19:32.910 refrigerant tubing okay so this is
00:19:34.790 00:19:34.800 refrigerant passages I should not call
00:19:37.010 00:19:37.020 it a tubing but this is refrigerant
00:19:38.810 00:19:38.820 passage okay through which the
00:19:43.670 00:19:43.680 refrigerant flows for example
00:19:44.690 00:19:44.700 refrigerant enters like this flows this
00:19:47.510 00:19:47.520 way okay and finally leaves like this
00:19:49.730 00:19:49.740 and air flows over the outside that
00:19:52.430 00:19:52.440 means on this surface you have a and if
00:19:55.820 00:19:55.830 you take a section at let us say at a
00:19:57.710 00:19:57.720 the section looks like this
00:19:59.640 00:19:59.650 okay so this is your plate okay and this
00:20:05.640 00:20:05.650 is your refrigerator okay and eight is
00:20:09.210 00:20:09.220 on the outside so the manufacturing of
00:20:13.440 00:20:13.450 this is quite interesting what is the
00:20:15.450 00:20:15.460 generally done is to aluminum plates of
00:20:20.330 00:20:20.340 equal size that means equal thickness
00:20:23.100 00:20:23.110 equal width etcetera are taken and on
00:20:25.290 00:20:25.300 these aluminum plates the refrigerant
00:20:27.299 00:20:27.309 circuit is printed that means it's just
00:20:28.950 00:20:28.960 like your PCB okay printed circuit board
00:20:31.230 00:20:31.240 the refrigerant tubing circuit is
00:20:33.000 00:20:33.010 printed on this printer printing means
00:20:35.370 00:20:35.380 some ink is deposited in the way the
00:20:37.980 00:20:37.990 tubing is required okay so once the
00:20:40.380 00:20:40.390 printing is done both these aluminum
00:20:42.240 00:20:42.250 plates are brought together and both the
00:20:45.330 00:20:45.340 plates are sent to rolling mills okay so
00:20:47.880 00:20:47.890 both the plates are rolled in rolling
00:20:50.100 00:20:50.110 mills so when the plates are rolled in
00:20:52.230 00:20:52.240 let us say hot rolling mills then
00:20:54.390 00:20:54.400 bonding of the two plates takes place
00:20:56.070 00:20:56.080 that means both the power plates get
00:20:58.560 00:20:58.570 fused together and they form a a single
00:21:00.720 00:21:00.730 plate this bonding takes place
00:21:02.610 00:21:02.620 everywhere except where there is ink
00:21:05.190 00:21:05.200 okay so wherever there is ink the
00:21:07.260 00:21:07.270 bonding does not take place okay that is
00:21:08.970 00:21:08.980 the characteristic of the ink used okay
00:21:12.390 00:21:12.400 so after the rolling process what is
00:21:14.580 00:21:14.590 done is the refrigerant passage that
00:21:17.430 00:21:17.440 means wherever ink is there is insulated
00:21:19.799 00:21:19.809 by sending high pressure water or high
00:21:21.960 00:21:21.970 pressure air okay since there is no
00:21:24.270 00:21:24.280 bonding wherever there is ink at that
00:21:27.299 00:21:27.309 point under high pressure of the tubes I
00:21:31.890 00:21:31.900 mean the plate can get inflated okay
00:21:34.140 00:21:34.150 that means plates remain separate only
00:21:36.419 00:21:36.429 where there is ink rest of the place
00:21:38.280 00:21:38.290 they get used okay since they are
00:21:40.530 00:21:40.540 separate where ink is there they can be
00:21:42.720 00:21:42.730 insulated by sending high-pressure fluid
00:21:44.850 00:21:44.860 okay so once the high-pressure fluid is
00:21:47.820 00:21:47.830 sent the refrigerant flow passage is
00:21:49.710 00:21:49.720 formed okay so once the passage is
00:21:51.810 00:21:51.820 formed the high pressure is withdrawn
00:21:53.040 00:21:53.050 then it is clean right so what you have
00:21:55.440 00:21:55.450 is a single plate okay which is made of
00:21:58.680 00:21:58.690 two separate plates a single plate
00:22:01.110 00:22:01.120 consisting of inbuilt refrigerant
00:22:03.510 00:22:03.520 passages through which refrigerant can
00:22:05.310 00:22:05.320 flow okay so that is what is shown here
00:22:07.530 00:22:07.540 you have the finally when everything is
00:22:10.140 00:22:10.150 over at this point the inlet and outlet
00:22:12.750 00:22:12.760 two
00:22:13.420 00:22:13.430 are welded to the Roll Bond type
00:22:16.000 00:22:16.010 evaporator okay so through this tube
00:22:17.770 00:22:17.780 refrigerant enters and through from this
00:22:20.140 00:22:20.150 it comes out and this plate can be bent
00:22:22.810 00:22:22.820 into any form for example this plate can
00:22:24.880 00:22:24.890 be made into the form of a box or it can
00:22:28.360 00:22:28.370 be made into the form of Cu it can be
00:22:29.950 00:22:29.960 bent into the form of L right so it can
00:22:32.230 00:22:32.240 be bend into any shape and this is
00:22:34.960 00:22:34.970 nothing but your evaporator and it also
00:22:38.890 00:22:38.900 is nothing but your freezer box this is
00:22:41.110 00:22:41.120 what you see in a conventional domestic
00:22:43.390 00:22:43.400 refrigerator the moment you open the
00:22:45.400 00:22:45.410 door you find the freezer box okay and
00:22:47.980 00:22:47.990 you will also notice that the freezer
00:22:49.570 00:22:49.580 box consists of some protrusions okay
00:22:52.540 00:22:52.550 and freezer box made of aluminium plate
00:22:54.550 00:22:54.560 and it has some protrusion that is
00:22:56.320 00:22:56.330 nothing but your refrigerant flow
00:22:57.940 00:22:57.950 passage through which the refrigerant
00:22:59.020 00:22:59.030 flows okay this kind of evaporator is
00:23:01.960 00:23:01.970 very very effective and it is also
00:23:03.850 00:23:03.860 easier to manufacture and it is cost
00:23:07.330 00:23:07.340 wise also it is good it is cheaper
00:23:09.250 00:23:09.260 compared to the cube and plate type
00:23:11.110 00:23:11.120 evaporator okay that is the reason why
00:23:12.880 00:23:12.890 most of the manufacturers nowadays use
00:23:15.400 00:23:15.410 this kind of evaporators in domestic
00:23:17.380 00:23:17.390 refrigerators okay I in addition to that
00:23:20.950 00:23:20.960 because very good bonding the heat
00:23:23.230 00:23:23.240 transfer is very effective okay and if
00:23:25.690 00:23:25.700 you look at any single tube you find
00:23:27.340 00:23:27.350 that this area acts as a fin okay under
00:23:33.250 00:23:33.260 the contact resistance between the fin
00:23:34.810 00:23:34.820 and the refrigerant is almost negligible
00:23:37.720 00:23:37.730 okay because they are formed of the same
00:23:39.460 00:23:39.470 plate right so these are the advantages
00:23:42.250 00:23:42.260 of roll bound type of evaporators which
00:23:43.990 00:23:44.000 are used in conventional domestic
00:23:46.150 00:23:46.160 refrigerators and other applications
00:23:50.520 00:23:50.530 there is another type of plate surface
00:23:53.170 00:23:53.180 evaporator in this type a serpentine
00:23:56.140 00:23:56.150 tube is placed between two metal plates
00:23:58.240 00:23:58.250 such that the plates press on to the
00:24:00.430 00:24:00.440 tube okay so let me just describe it
00:24:04.930 00:24:04.940 first the edges of the plates are welded
00:24:06.880 00:24:06.890 together the space between the plates is
00:24:09.520 00:24:09.530 either filled with a eutectic solution
00:24:10.960 00:24:10.970 or evacuated if eutectic solution is
00:24:14.050 00:24:14.060 provided it provides a good hold up
00:24:15.910 00:24:15.920 capacity and this kind of evaporators
00:24:20.470 00:24:20.480 are widely used and refrigerate
00:24:21.940 00:24:21.950 refrigerated trucks
00:24:24.090 00:24:24.100 can you describe this so you can see
00:24:26.670 00:24:26.680 here okay and this is the
00:24:33.330 00:24:33.340 cross-sectional view at a right so this
00:24:36.780 00:24:36.790 is like a closed box at a closed box in
00:24:41.970 00:24:41.980 which the refrigerant tubes okay the
00:24:45.090 00:24:45.100 serpentine tube is sandwiched right that
00:24:47.640 00:24:47.650 mean you take two plates and put this
00:24:49.800 00:24:49.810 serpentine coil and close all the wedges
00:24:52.830 00:24:52.840 right and have the inlet and outlet term
00:24:55.800 00:24:55.810 right now you have some space between
00:24:58.920 00:24:58.930 the refrigerant this is the refrigerant
00:25:01.020 00:25:01.030 tube okay these are the refrigerant
00:25:02.430 00:25:02.440 tubes and this is the plate over which
00:25:04.800 00:25:04.810 your air flows air or whatever is the
00:25:06.660 00:25:06.670 external fluid that flows right so there
00:25:09.090 00:25:09.100 is a gap between the tube and the plate
00:25:12.180 00:25:12.190 which is all the space so that space is
00:25:16.050 00:25:16.060 normally filled with a eutectic solution
00:25:18.120 00:25:18.130 okay eutectic solution means a solution
00:25:20.040 00:25:20.050 which has low freezing point right so
00:25:22.530 00:25:22.540 when you fill this space with the
00:25:23.760 00:25:23.770 eutectic solution that means this space
00:25:25.350 00:25:25.360 then there is a good thermal contact
00:25:28.380 00:25:28.390 between the refrigerant tube and the
00:25:31.200 00:25:31.210 outer plate okay because the eutectic
00:25:33.300 00:25:33.310 solution which is a liquid has a high
00:25:35.580 00:25:35.590 thermal conductivity compared to a
00:25:37.140 00:25:37.150 vacuum as a result you get good
00:25:39.750 00:25:39.760 performance okay in another method what
00:25:42.810 00:25:42.820 is done is this space is not filled with
00:25:45.960 00:25:45.970 any solution but it is evacuated okay
00:25:48.540 00:25:48.550 when you evacuate it the outside
00:25:50.190 00:25:50.200 pressure which is atmospheric that
00:25:52.020 00:25:52.030 presses these two outer tubes as a
00:25:54.360 00:25:54.370 result again good thermal contact is
00:25:56.400 00:25:56.410 formed between the tubes and the plates
00:25:58.560 00:25:58.570 right but more widely the eutectic
00:26:01.410 00:26:01.420 solution is used because the advantage
00:26:03.090 00:26:03.100 of eutectic solution is that in addition
00:26:05.340 00:26:05.350 to providing good thermal contact it
00:26:07.470 00:26:07.480 also provides what is known as holdup
00:26:09.510 00:26:09.520 capacity that means when you have lot of
00:26:12.290 00:26:12.300 solution in the evaporator okay lot of
00:26:15.570 00:26:15.580 external fluid in the evaporator the
00:26:17.490 00:26:17.500 external fluid has since it is a liquid
00:26:19.800 00:26:19.810 it has large specific heat right and it
00:26:23.040 00:26:23.050 also has large mass because of its high
00:26:25.140 00:26:25.150 density okay so you have large MCP
00:26:27.510 00:26:27.520 liquid which is cooled to almost the
00:26:30.180 00:26:30.190 same temperature and few degrees higher
00:26:32.700 00:26:32.710 than the evaporator temperature okay so
00:26:34.980 00:26:34.990 that means entire you have a PAC
00:26:36.770 00:26:36.780 or you have an evaporator which has high
00:26:38.870 00:26:38.880 large thermal capacity and which is
00:26:40.910 00:26:40.920 cooled to a low temperature okay now let
00:26:43.490 00:26:43.500 us say that there is a power cut okay so
00:26:45.620 00:26:45.630 there is a power cut then the
00:26:46.850 00:26:46.860 refrigeration is not provided reference
00:26:48.560 00:26:48.570 system does not work so no refrigeration
00:26:50.450 00:26:50.460 is provided because the compressor does
00:26:52.010 00:26:52.020 not work but still because of the large
00:26:53.930 00:26:53.940 holdup capacity that means because of
00:26:55.610 00:26:55.620 the large amount of liquid which is
00:26:57.620 00:26:57.630 originally present in the evaporator and
00:26:59.510 00:26:59.520 which was at very low temperature the
00:27:01.550 00:27:01.560 refrigerated space can be maintained
00:27:03.590 00:27:03.600 colder for a longer time okay that means
00:27:06.370 00:27:06.380 this liquid the eutectic solution
00:27:09.350 00:27:09.360 continuously gives cooling as long as
00:27:12.350 00:27:12.360 its temperature is low okay so this kind
00:27:14.510 00:27:14.520 of capacity is known as holdup capacity
00:27:16.580 00:27:16.590 okay so this is one of the advantage of
00:27:18.200 00:27:18.210 having this eutectic solution okay it
00:27:20.090 00:27:20.100 can take care of power occurs or load
00:27:23.150 00:27:23.160 variations etcetera okay and this is
00:27:25.550 00:27:25.560 very widely used in refrigerated trucks
00:27:27.730 00:27:27.740 what is done in a refrigerated truck is
00:27:30.200 00:27:30.210 these evaporators are connected to
00:27:32.720 00:27:32.730 refrigeration systems which are on the
00:27:34.400 00:27:34.410 land
00:27:34.850 00:27:34.860 okay so just before the truck starts all
00:27:37.910 00:27:37.920 these evaporators are cooled to the
00:27:39.680 00:27:39.690 required temperature that means the
00:27:41.660 00:27:41.670 eutectic solution is cool to the
00:27:43.910 00:27:43.920 required low temperature okay then the
00:27:46.370 00:27:46.380 evaporators are disconnected from the
00:27:47.900 00:27:47.910 refrigeration system and they are placed
00:27:49.640 00:27:49.650 in the refrigerated truck okay then the
00:27:52.280 00:27:52.290 truck moves from one phase to the other
00:27:53.660 00:27:53.670 so as long as the truck is on the move
00:27:56.120 00:27:56.130 cooling is provided by the cold solution
00:27:58.940 00:27:58.950 placed in the evaporators okay so that
00:28:04.250 00:28:04.260 way this simple system and evaporation
00:28:06.770 00:28:06.780 is our I am sorry cooling is ensured
00:28:08.540 00:28:08.550 even when the truck is moving without
00:28:10.610 00:28:10.620 putting any refrigerant system on board
00:28:12.830 00:28:12.840 okay so this is one of the popular ways
00:28:15.380 00:28:15.390 of providing refrigeration okay
00:28:24.770 00:28:24.780 now let us look at another very
00:28:27.090 00:28:27.100 important type of evaporator what is
00:28:28.890 00:28:28.900 known as plate type evaporator plate
00:28:31.350 00:28:31.360 type evaporators are used when it closed
00:28:34.290 00:28:34.300 temperature approach that means 0.5
00:28:37.230 00:28:37.240 kelvin or less between the boiling
00:28:39.240 00:28:39.250 refrigerant and the fluid being chilled
00:28:41.220 00:28:41.230 is required okay let me let us say that
00:28:43.910 00:28:43.920 refrigerant is at minus 20 degree
00:28:46.230 00:28:46.240 centigrade and I want to chill the
00:28:47.700 00:28:47.710 external fluid to minus 19 point five
00:28:49.980 00:28:49.990 degrees okay that means refrigerant
00:28:52.110 00:28:52.120 temperature and the external fluid
00:28:54.060 00:28:54.070 temperature are almost same okay the
00:28:56.760 00:28:56.770 difference is very small about 0.5
00:28:58.290 00:28:58.300 Kelvin then you require very high heat
00:29:00.510 00:29:00.520 transfer coefficients in Donlon okay and
00:29:03.210 00:29:03.220 you also require basically very high
00:29:05.940 00:29:05.950 heat transfer area also right in such
00:29:08.400 00:29:08.410 cases the plate type evaporators are
00:29:10.890 00:29:10.900 used okay that means wherever you want
00:29:12.900 00:29:12.910 very close approach plate type
00:29:14.610 00:29:14.620 evaporators are used these evaporators
00:29:19.620 00:29:19.630 are widely used in dairy plants for
00:29:21.540 00:29:21.550 chilling milk in brewery for chilling
00:29:23.790 00:29:23.800 beer etcetera these evaporators consist
00:29:28.050 00:29:28.060 of a series of plates normally made of
00:29:30.240 00:29:30.250 stainless steel between which
00:29:32.250 00:29:32.260 alternately the milk or beer to be
00:29:34.920 00:29:34.930 cooled and refrigerant flow in counter
00:29:37.140 00:29:37.150 flow direction so let me show the
00:29:38.970 00:29:38.980 picture of a plate type evaporator so
00:29:45.210 00:29:45.220 you can see here that there are a large
00:29:47.400 00:29:47.410 number of tubes for example this I mean
00:29:49.350 00:29:49.360 large number of plates sorry you have
00:29:51.330 00:29:51.340 this is one plate and this is another
00:29:53.880 00:29:53.890 plate okay so like that a large number
00:29:56.730 00:29:56.740 of plates are stacked together okay and
00:30:00.560 00:30:00.570 the flow passes is there between these
00:30:04.710 00:30:04.720 two plates okay that means there is some
00:30:06.930 00:30:06.940 gap between these two plates through
00:30:08.400 00:30:08.410 which the fluid can flow right for
00:30:10.890 00:30:10.900 example let us say that here the
00:30:13.170 00:30:13.180 refrigerant is flowing in this direction
00:30:14.540 00:30:14.550 okay so in the passage formed by this
00:30:17.370 00:30:17.380 plate and the next plate that means in
00:30:19.290 00:30:19.300 this passage the liquid being cool will
00:30:23.100 00:30:23.110 be flowing in the opposite direction
00:30:24.330 00:30:24.340 that means one fluid flows in this
00:30:26.160 00:30:26.170 direction the other fluid flows in this
00:30:28.290 00:30:28.300 direction okay so in the next passage
00:30:30.690 00:30:30.700 that means the path is found between
00:30:32.100 00:30:32.110 displayed and the next plate again the
00:30:34.169 00:30:34.179 refrigerant flowing will be flowing in
00:30:35.760 00:30:35.770 this direction
00:30:36.810 00:30:36.820 okay that means if you look at the
00:30:40.620 00:30:40.630 plates let us say that these are the
00:30:42.060 00:30:42.070 number of plates which are stacked
00:30:43.289 00:30:43.299 together if the refrigerant will be
00:30:45.090 00:30:45.100 flowing like this okay in alternate
00:30:47.610 00:30:47.620 paths and the liquid being cooled will
00:30:50.639 00:30:50.649 be flowing like this okay so this is
00:30:54.360 00:30:54.370 this is refrigerant and this is the
00:30:56.370 00:30:56.380 layer external fluid so you can see that
00:30:58.350 00:30:58.360 between the passages a true counter flow
00:31:00.419 00:31:00.429 can be obtained so as we know the
00:31:02.549 00:31:02.559 counter flow graph gives rise to very
00:31:04.049 00:31:04.059 effective heat transfer okay and you can
00:31:07.680 00:31:07.690 also see that these plates are not plain
00:31:13.289 00:31:13.299 plates but they have some profile on
00:31:16.110 00:31:16.120 that normally they are they have some
00:31:20.610 00:31:20.620 structure in such a way that a good
00:31:22.799 00:31:22.809 turbulence and hence high heat transfer
00:31:25.230 00:31:25.240 coefficients can be obtained okay
00:31:27.360 00:31:27.370 normally having bone structure or
00:31:28.680 00:31:28.690 something like that is used okay so the
00:31:30.690 00:31:30.700 plane plates are taken and they are
00:31:32.369 00:31:32.379 stamped with the required structure so
00:31:35.369 00:31:35.379 that you get a high heat transfer
00:31:37.399 00:31:37.409 coefficient okay so you have if you look
00:31:40.080 00:31:40.090 at each plate you will have this kind of
00:31:42.680 00:31:42.690 stamping and you can see that the
00:31:46.590 00:31:46.600 refrigerant enters for example in this
00:31:48.210 00:31:48.220 figure through the end plate it enters
00:31:52.080 00:31:52.090 like this so flows through alternate
00:31:54.119 00:31:54.129 passages okay and it comes out like this
00:31:57.899 00:31:57.909 00:31:59.279 00:31:59.289 whereas water enters through this
00:32:01.950 00:32:01.960 passage again flows through the
00:32:03.330 00:32:03.340 evaporator and it comes out from this
00:32:08.240 00:32:08.250 passage in the end plate okay and the
00:32:10.889 00:32:10.899 ends are closed you have one end plate
00:32:12.570 00:32:12.580 this is one end plate and this is end
00:32:14.220 00:32:14.230 plate and when everything is put
00:32:16.139 00:32:16.149 together we have you also require a
00:32:19.110 00:32:19.120 gasket to prevent leakage for example
00:32:21.299 00:32:21.309 this is a gasket so each plate will have
00:32:24.060 00:32:24.070 gasket on both sides and the gasket will
00:32:26.009 00:32:26.019 prevent leakage of refrigerant and also
00:32:28.950 00:32:28.960 provide the gap for flow passage okay so
00:32:32.430 00:32:32.440 when you stack the plates together and
00:32:35.490 00:32:35.500 close it with the end plates then a
00:32:37.080 00:32:37.090 closed evaporator is formed and the
00:32:41.039 00:32:41.049 entire evaporator is assembled okay so
00:32:45.029 00:32:45.039 you have the assembly tie rods and all
00:32:47.879 00:32:47.889 that okay
00:32:49.820 00:32:49.830 so finally when you assemble a tuba you
00:32:51.860 00:32:51.870 get a very compact evaporator which has
00:32:54.529 00:32:54.539 very high heat transfer area ok so high
00:32:58.130 00:32:58.140 capacity right so this is what is known
00:33:01.009 00:33:01.019 as your plate type of evaporator
00:33:02.330 00:33:02.340 nowadays it is becoming popular
00:33:03.500 00:33:03.510 especially in large systems and also in
00:33:05.990 00:33:06.000 the very plants and all where milk is
00:33:08.810 00:33:08.820 used the reason why it is becoming
00:33:10.820 00:33:10.830 popular in dairy plants and all is that
00:33:13.149 00:33:13.159 in dairy plants you have to clean the
00:33:15.919 00:33:15.929 evaporators almost every day okay
00:33:18.080 00:33:18.090 because once the milk flows through it
00:33:20.870 00:33:20.880 for a certain certain amount of time
00:33:22.220 00:33:22.230 cleaning is required so to have to
00:33:23.899 00:33:23.909 maintain the highs in right and if you
00:33:26.149 00:33:26.159 are using let us say about brighter like
00:33:27.919 00:33:27.929 shell-and-tube type of evaporator
00:33:29.210 00:33:29.220 cleaning is very difficult or it may
00:33:31.580 00:33:31.590 take lot of time okay
00:33:33.320 00:33:33.330 whereas in plate type evaporator since
00:33:35.419 00:33:35.429 the way it is constructed and the phase
00:33:36.980 00:33:36.990 since by the way it is assembled if you
00:33:39.409 00:33:39.419 want to clean it you have to remove some
00:33:40.759 00:33:40.769 bolts remove the end plate then all the
00:33:43.070 00:33:43.080 plates are accessible okay so you can
00:33:44.750 00:33:44.760 remove one by one plate and clean it and
00:33:46.399 00:33:46.409 again stack them together and assemble
00:33:48.289 00:33:48.299 the whole evaporator okay so the
00:33:50.649 00:33:50.659 removing the plates and cleaning and
00:33:53.090 00:33:53.100 again assembling them back does not take
00:33:55.070 00:33:55.080 much time okay so this is very
00:33:57.259 00:33:57.269 convenient in this kind of plants where
00:33:59.649 00:33:59.659 hygiene is important cleaning is
00:34:01.700 00:34:01.710 required frequent cleaning is required
00:34:03.279 00:34:03.289 okay so that is why these are very ideal
00:34:06.680 00:34:06.690 in addition to that if you want to
00:34:08.690 00:34:08.700 increase the capacity of the evaporator
00:34:10.879 00:34:10.889 or reduce the capacity of the evaporator
00:34:12.500 00:34:12.510 all that you have to do is you have to
00:34:13.909 00:34:13.919 remove the bolts take out one end plate
00:34:15.829 00:34:15.839 and add few plates we want to increase
00:34:17.750 00:34:17.760 the capacity or remove some plates we
00:34:19.669 00:34:19.679 want to reduce the capacity okay so
00:34:21.530 00:34:21.540 capacity reduction or increase is
00:34:23.599 00:34:23.609 possible well very easily right that is
00:34:27.379 00:34:27.389 the reason why these evaporators are
00:34:28.879 00:34:28.889 becoming popular in addition to their
00:34:31.399 00:34:31.409 being very very effective okay
00:34:42.290 00:34:42.300 and the overall heat transfer
00:34:44.580 00:34:44.590 coefficient in plate type evaporator is
00:34:46.920 00:34:46.930 very large you get about 4500 watt per
00:34:49.650 00:34:49.660 meter square Kelvin for ammonia water
00:34:51.480 00:34:51.490 and 3,000 watt per meter squared Kelvin
00:34:54.030 00:34:54.040 for r22 water them and these type of
00:34:59.550 00:34:59.560 evaporators require very less
00:35:01.050 00:35:01.060 refrigerant inventory for the same
00:35:03.180 00:35:03.190 capacity okay that means the total
00:35:05.400 00:35:05.410 amount of refrigerant to be charged into
00:35:07.230 00:35:07.240 the system is much less when you are
00:35:09.870 00:35:09.880 using plate type evaporator for example
00:35:11.790 00:35:11.800 it will be about 10 percent of
00:35:13.650 00:35:13.660 shell-and-tube type evaporators for same
00:35:16.440 00:35:16.450 capacity okay so this is an advantage
00:35:18.210 00:35:18.220 because it reduces the cost and if you
00:35:20.580 00:35:20.590 are using some toxic refrigerant it is
00:35:22.440 00:35:22.450 also safer to have less refrigerant and
00:35:26.330 00:35:26.340 cleaning the evaporator in dairy plants
00:35:28.530 00:35:28.540 and provirus is very easy as I have
00:35:30.000 00:35:30.010 already explained the capacity can be
00:35:33.030 00:35:33.040 increased or decreased very easily by
00:35:34.830 00:35:34.840 adding or removing plates this also have
00:35:36.690 00:35:36.700 explained okay so these are some of the
00:35:41.900 00:35:41.910 important types of evaporators in fact
00:35:45.420 00:35:45.430 if you look at operator unlike
00:35:46.980 00:35:46.990 condensers there can be many a large
00:35:49.530 00:35:49.540 variety of evaporators okay normally
00:35:51.960 00:35:51.970 condensers can be made of the Shelf or
00:35:54.270 00:35:54.280 you have standard types of condensers
00:35:56.970 00:35:56.980 which can be made to order or which can
00:35:59.460 00:35:59.470 be obtained off the shelf but evaporator
00:36:01.560 00:36:01.570 generally are made to order okay most of
00:36:04.350 00:36:04.360 the time the operators are non-standard
00:36:06.810 00:36:06.820 depending upon the applications except
00:36:08.910 00:36:08.920 for maybe a shell and tube type or a
00:36:12.470 00:36:12.480 plate fin and tube type or a plate type
00:36:15.240 00:36:15.250 okay the roll bond type of evaporators
00:36:17.580 00:36:17.590 etc are made depending upon the
00:36:20.040 00:36:20.050 requirement okay the design and
00:36:21.800 00:36:21.810 manufacturing etcetera is done based on
00:36:23.880 00:36:23.890 the specific requirement so you have a
00:36:25.740 00:36:25.750 wide variety of evaporators okay
00:36:28.110 00:36:28.120 depending upon a wide variety of
00:36:29.850 00:36:29.860 applications okay this is one again the
00:36:32.130 00:36:32.140 difference between evaporator and
00:36:33.690 00:36:33.700 condenser okay now let us look at the
00:36:36.510 00:36:36.520 thermal design of evaporators when I say
00:36:38.730 00:36:38.740 thermal design of evaporators actually
00:36:40.290 00:36:40.300 the design of evaporator is very very
00:36:41.730 00:36:41.740 complicated
00:36:42.450 00:36:42.460 unlike the design of condenser because
00:36:44.820 00:36:44.830 of the factor that we have both we can
00:36:47.580 00:36:47.590 have both the sensible as well as latent
00:36:49.230 00:36:49.240 heat transfer taking place on the
00:36:51.240 00:36:51.250 external fluid side also okay in
00:36:53.400 00:36:53.410 addition to that the production of
00:36:55.560 00:36:55.570 refrigerant coefficient on the boiling
00:36:58.980 00:36:58.990 side is also quite difficult unlike that
00:37:01.740 00:37:01.750 of condensation okay for this reason the
00:37:04.620 00:37:04.630 very exact design of swap vertices quite
00:37:07.650 00:37:07.660 difficult okay so there are large number
00:37:09.720 00:37:09.730 of correlations available which are
00:37:12.000 00:37:12.010 applicable to particular ranges or
00:37:15.210 00:37:15.220 particular flow patterns etcetera so
00:37:17.790 00:37:17.800 depending upon our the type of the
00:37:19.680 00:37:19.690 evaporator that we are planning to use
00:37:20.970 00:37:20.980 we have to use the suitable correlations
00:37:23.370 00:37:23.380 okay so I will not really go into the
00:37:25.620 00:37:25.630 details of the exact design of
00:37:27.960 00:37:27.970 evaporators which you will normally
00:37:29.730 00:37:29.740 study in an advanced course I simply
00:37:32.100 00:37:32.110 explain the basic principles and the
00:37:35.000 00:37:35.010 complexities to be considered while
00:37:36.900 00:37:36.910 designing the evaporator okay first let
00:37:39.180 00:37:39.190 us look at the complexities the design
00:37:42.510 00:37:42.520 is complex due to a refrigerant side
00:37:45.510 00:37:45.520 heat transfer coefficient varies widely
00:37:47.010 00:37:47.020 along the length both sensible and
00:37:50.430 00:37:50.440 latent heat transfer may take place on
00:37:51.900 00:37:51.910 external fluid side as I've already told
00:37:54.200 00:37:54.210 presence of lubricating oil in
00:37:56.310 00:37:56.320 evaporator okay in condenser normally if
00:38:00.480 00:38:00.490 it is a refrigerant is miscible with the
00:38:02.280 00:38:02.290 oil then the presence of oil does not
00:38:05.310 00:38:05.320 affect the heat transfer or pressure
00:38:07.290 00:38:07.300 drop but what happens is when you come
00:38:09.420 00:38:09.430 to the evaporator the oil tends to get
00:38:12.450 00:38:12.460 separated from the evaporating
00:38:14.670 00:38:14.680 refrigerant okay that means once the
00:38:16.680 00:38:16.690 liquid starts boiling then lubricating
00:38:20.100 00:38:20.110 oil gets separated from the refrigerant
00:38:22.950 00:38:22.960 once it gets separated it tries to stick
00:38:25.440 00:38:25.450 to the evaporator tube and it tries to
00:38:27.120 00:38:27.130 settle down in the operator okay so this
00:38:30.390 00:38:30.400 will complicate the design because you
00:38:32.190 00:38:32.200 have to make sure that the refrigerant
00:38:34.200 00:38:34.210 or lubricating oil is flowing back to
00:38:37.050 00:38:37.060 the compressor okay to ensure that the
00:38:38.640 00:38:38.650 compressor is operating properly
00:38:40.350 00:38:40.360 okay so oil return has to be considered
00:38:43.230 00:38:43.240 above while designing the operators in
00:38:45.270 00:38:45.280 addition to that the presence of large
00:38:47.610 00:38:47.620 amount of oil in the evaporator will
00:38:49.410 00:38:49.420 also affect the heat transfer and
00:38:51.480 00:38:51.490 pressure drop
00:38:52.640 00:38:52.650 characteristics of the evaporator which
00:38:54.570 00:38:54.580 need to be considered okay so this makes
00:38:57.090 00:38:57.100 the design complicated and the
00:39:00.990 00:39:01.000 evaporator pressure drop is more
00:39:02.460 00:39:02.470 critical
00:39:03.670 00:39:03.680 I mean this I have already explained in
00:39:04.990 00:39:05.000 an earlier lecture compared to the
00:39:06.700 00:39:06.710 pressure drop on the condenser side the
00:39:09.339 00:39:09.349 pressure drop on the evaporator side has
00:39:11.440 00:39:11.450 a more significant effect on the
00:39:12.849 00:39:12.859 performance of the system okay so you
00:39:15.250 00:39:15.260 have to design the operator in such a
00:39:16.870 00:39:16.880 way that the pressure drop is less than
00:39:19.240 00:39:19.250 the acceptable level okay that means it
00:39:21.309 00:39:21.319 is as far as possible it should be as
00:39:22.870 00:39:22.880 small as possible
00:39:24.339 00:39:24.349 okay this again puts constraints on the
00:39:26.710 00:39:26.720 design of the evaporator as I have
00:39:32.200 00:39:32.210 already explained deferent velocity has
00:39:34.210 00:39:34.220 to be optimized taking both oil Litton
00:39:36.880 00:39:36.890 and pressure drop into account term and
00:39:40.020 00:39:40.030 finally the part load operation may lead
00:39:42.460 00:39:42.470 to flooding of the evaporator which may
00:39:44.740 00:39:44.750 lead to slugging of the compressor
00:39:49.290 00:39:49.300 estimation of heat transfer area and
00:39:51.309 00:39:51.319 overall heat transfer coefficients for
00:39:54.579 00:39:54.589 plate fin and tube type evaporators
00:39:56.290 00:39:56.300 expressions for various areas are
00:39:58.000 00:39:58.010 exactly same as that of plate fin and
00:39:59.710 00:39:59.720 tube type condensers this we have
00:40:01.690 00:40:01.700 discussed in detail while discussing the
00:40:03.339 00:40:03.349 design of condensers so the how to
00:40:05.200 00:40:05.210 calculate areas that is exactly same
00:40:06.970 00:40:06.980 okay expressions for overall heat
00:40:11.109 00:40:11.119 transfer coefficient is also similar as
00:40:12.940 00:40:12.950 long as there is no latent heat transfer
00:40:14.740 00:40:14.750 on eight side okay if there is no latent
00:40:17.230 00:40:17.240 heat transfer on each side and if only
00:40:18.640 00:40:18.650 sensible heat transfer takes place on
00:40:20.109 00:40:20.119 the eight side then the design that
00:40:22.089 00:40:22.099 means the expressions for you
00:40:23.140 00:40:23.150 expressions for various area experience
00:40:25.690 00:40:25.700 for fin efficiency etcetera they are
00:40:27.579 00:40:27.589 exactly similar for a plate fin and tube
00:40:30.880 00:40:30.890 type of evaporator as that of plate fin
00:40:33.069 00:40:33.079 and type tip of condenser which we have
00:40:34.960 00:40:34.970 already discussed write expressions for
00:40:39.280 00:40:39.290 u LMT D and fin efficiency need to be
00:40:42.160 00:40:42.170 modified if condensation or freezing
00:40:44.470 00:40:44.480 takes place okay on the other hand if
00:40:46.270 00:40:46.280 you have latent heat transfer on the
00:40:48.160 00:40:48.170 external fluid side also then you have
00:40:50.170 00:40:50.180 to consider these aspects also now let
00:40:54.819 00:40:54.829 us look at estimation of heat transfer
00:40:56.230 00:40:56.240 coefficients eight side heat transfer
00:40:59.349 00:40:59.359 coefficients in plate fin and tube type
00:41:00.789 00:41:00.799 evaporators and as I said these
00:41:02.799 00:41:02.809 evaporators are normally used in larger
00:41:05.470 00:41:05.480 in small air conditioning systems or in
00:41:08.079 00:41:08.089 cold storages if air undergoes only
00:41:11.289 00:41:11.299 sensible heat transfer correlations are
00:41:13.180 00:41:13.190 same as that of air cooled condenser
00:41:15.190 00:41:15.200 okay that means a
00:41:16.630 00:41:16.640 there is only sensible heat transfer
00:41:17.589 00:41:17.599 then you can use the same correlation
00:41:19.720 00:41:19.730 that we have used for condensers namely
00:41:21.819 00:41:21.829 for example in the cells correlation
00:41:23.589 00:41:23.599 grim sense correlations etcetera mass
00:41:27.849 00:41:27.859 transfer effects have to be considered
00:41:29.019 00:41:29.029 if water vapor in air condenses or
00:41:31.569 00:41:31.579 freezes
00:41:33.059 00:41:33.069 hence analysis of cooling and
00:41:35.349 00:41:35.359 humidification or cooling and freezing
00:41:37.000 00:41:37.010 coils is more complicated due to
00:41:39.309 00:41:39.319 simultaneous heat and mass transfer okay
00:41:41.859 00:41:41.869 so to design cooling and
00:41:43.960 00:41:43.970 dehumidification or cooling and freezing
00:41:45.400 00:41:45.410 coils one has to know the mass transfer
00:41:48.819 00:41:48.829 aspects also because you have to
00:41:50.500 00:41:50.510 consider the simultaneous heat and mass
00:41:52.690 00:41:52.700 transfer on the a side okay this is
00:41:55.390 00:41:55.400 quite complex and normally this is
00:41:57.460 00:41:57.470 started in advanced refrigeration
00:42:00.059 00:42:00.069 courses okay now let us look at liquid
00:42:05.680 00:42:05.690 side heat transfer coefficients liquid
00:42:09.400 00:42:09.410 flowing in tubes
00:42:10.650 00:42:10.660 when liquids such as water brine milk
00:42:13.299 00:42:13.309 etcetera flow through tubes without
00:42:15.099 00:42:15.109 undergoing any phase changes that means
00:42:16.690 00:42:16.700 as long as it does not freeze it should
00:42:18.099 00:42:18.109 not freeze but as long as it does not
00:42:19.690 00:42:19.700 undergo any phase change the
00:42:21.249 00:42:21.259 correlations presented earlier for
00:42:22.930 00:42:22.940 condensers that means correlation such
00:42:25.120 00:42:25.130 as detest bolter or sea death it can
00:42:27.370 00:42:27.380 also be used for evaporator okay the
00:42:29.230 00:42:29.240 exactly same correlations can be used
00:42:30.700 00:42:30.710 with a small change in the deters
00:42:33.339 00:42:33.349 bounder correlation for example the you
00:42:36.249 00:42:36.259 have Prandtl number and the exponent of
00:42:37.990 00:42:38.000 Prandtl number is 0.4 because there the
00:42:41.079 00:42:41.089 liquid is being heated as it flows to
00:42:43.809 00:42:43.819 the condenser right but when you use the
00:42:47.079 00:42:47.089 same expression for evaporator for the
00:42:49.240 00:42:49.250 external fluid then instead of using
00:42:51.069 00:42:51.079 0.44 Prandtl number you have to take 0.3
00:42:54.009 00:42:54.019 in detest builder correlation because
00:42:55.509 00:42:55.519 the liquid is being cooled in case of
00:42:57.609 00:42:57.619 evaporator this is the only change
00:42:59.140 00:42:59.150 otherwise the correlation will be
00:43:00.460 00:43:00.470 exactly same okay now let us look at the
00:43:06.640 00:43:06.650 liquid flowing in a shell this will
00:43:08.380 00:43:08.390 happen in shell and tube type of
00:43:09.990 00:43:10.000 evaporator with dry expansion where the
00:43:12.519 00:43:12.529 refrigerant flows through the tube and
00:43:13.930 00:43:13.940 the liquid that means water or milk
00:43:16.990 00:43:17.000 flows through the shell in direct
00:43:22.390 00:43:22.400 expansion type shell and tube
00:43:23.620 00:43:23.630 evaporators represent flows through the
00:43:25.480 00:43:25.490 tubes while water or other liquids flows
00:43:27.220 00:43:27.230 through the shell
00:43:28.909 00:43:28.919 analysis of fluid flow and heat
00:43:30.809 00:43:30.819 exchanger on chelsa it is very complex
00:43:32.609 00:43:32.619 due to the presence of large number of
00:43:34.469 00:43:34.479 tubes baffles etcetera okay so this is a
00:43:37.559 00:43:37.569 complicated again design point because
00:43:39.689 00:43:39.699 you can see that there are large number
00:43:40.769 00:43:40.779 of tubes again large number of baffles
00:43:42.779 00:43:42.789 etc okay so the prediction of heat
00:43:45.059 00:43:45.069 transfer and pressure drop on the shell
00:43:47.729 00:43:47.739 side is complicated because of the flow
00:43:49.890 00:43:49.900 geometry okay
00:43:53.120 00:43:53.130 several empirical correlations based on
00:43:55.559 00:43:55.569 experimental observations have been
00:43:56.939 00:43:56.949 developed over the years for predicting
00:43:59.489 00:43:59.499 the pressure drop and heat transfer
00:44:01.140 00:44:01.150 coefficients on the shell side for
00:44:04.769 00:44:04.779 example you have a simple correlation
00:44:06.150 00:44:06.160 called as emergence correlation where
00:44:08.880 00:44:08.890 the nusselt number is given by HT by KF
00:44:11.519 00:44:11.529 where K is the thermal conductivity of
00:44:13.199 00:44:13.209 the fluid being cooled that is equal to
00:44:15.539 00:44:15.549 C into re to the power of 0.6 parental
00:44:18.479 00:44:18.489 number to the power of point 3
00:44:19.620 00:44:19.630 multiplied by mu by mu W of 0.14 okay
00:44:23.999 00:44:24.009 this looks almost similar to your C
00:44:25.979 00:44:25.989 dirted correlation for flow through
00:44:28.859 00:44:28.869 tubes right the viscosity effect is
00:44:31.799 00:44:31.809 there Reynolds number is there in
00:44:33.029 00:44:33.039 parental amperage there of course the
00:44:34.140 00:44:34.150 experiments are different here we use
00:44:36.809 00:44:36.819 Reynolds number to the power of 0.6
00:44:38.399 00:44:38.409 whereas in case of flow through tubes we
00:44:40.709 00:44:40.719 use Reynolds number to the power of 0.8
00:44:42.359 00:44:42.369 as long as the flow is turbulent okay
00:44:45.449 00:44:45.459 and in this expression the constant C
00:44:47.849 00:44:47.859 depends on the geometry okay that means
00:44:49.829 00:44:49.839 how the baffles are path pay place and
00:44:53.120 00:44:53.130 how many passes are there and all that
00:44:55.589 00:44:55.599 depending upon the specific geometry of
00:44:57.390 00:44:57.400 the shell in tube type of evaporator the
00:45:00.029 00:45:00.039 constant of C has to be obtained and
00:45:02.279 00:45:02.289 used okay and the Reynolds number re D
00:45:05.489 00:45:05.499 is defined as re D is Z D by mu where D
00:45:09.809 00:45:09.819 is the internal diameter of the shell
00:45:11.729 00:45:11.739 and G is the mass velocity which is
00:45:14.130 00:45:14.140 equal to the mass flow rate divided by
00:45:16.890 00:45:16.900 the characteristic flow area okay so the
00:45:19.649 00:45:19.659 it has units of kg per meter square per
00:45:22.079 00:45:22.089 second so find the Reynolds number from
00:45:25.949 00:45:25.959 the flow rate and from the area of the
00:45:28.909 00:45:28.919 or from the configuration the shell n
00:45:31.229 00:45:31.239 cube evaporated then from the reynolds
00:45:34.349 00:45:34.359 number and prandtl number find the
00:45:35.819 00:45:35.829 nusselt number
00:45:39.290 00:45:39.300 now let us look at boiling heat transfer
00:45:41.000 00:45:41.010 coefficient that means heat transfer on
00:45:42.320 00:45:42.330 the refrigerant side in evaporators
00:45:45.980 00:45:45.990 boiling of refrigerant may take place
00:45:47.720 00:45:47.730 outside tubes or inside tubes when
00:45:51.380 00:45:51.390 boiling takes place outside the tubes it
00:45:53.330 00:45:53.340 is called as pool boiling you might have
00:45:55.190 00:45:55.200 studied this in your heat transfer basic
00:45:57.020 00:45:57.030 heat transfer course pool boiling when
00:46:00.710 00:46:00.720 boiling takes place inside tubes it is
00:46:02.660 00:46:02.670 called as flow boiling the heat transfer
00:46:06.380 00:46:06.390 coefficients in pool boiling are
00:46:07.730 00:46:07.740 entirely different from that of slow
00:46:09.320 00:46:09.330 boiling okay sometimes flow boiling is
00:46:13.430 00:46:13.440 treated as a combination of pool boiling
00:46:15.680 00:46:15.690 and force convection and correlations
00:46:17.810 00:46:17.820 are formulated based on this model let
00:46:22.940 00:46:22.950 us look at some of the pool boiling
00:46:24.230 00:46:24.240 correlations in pool boiling the tube or
00:46:27.230 00:46:27.240 the heat transfer surface is immersed in
00:46:29.359 00:46:29.369 a pool of liquid which is at its
00:46:31.160 00:46:31.170 saturation temperature is what is known
00:46:33.830 00:46:33.840 as saturated pool boiling the heat
00:46:35.840 00:46:35.850 transfer coefficient depends upon the
00:46:37.340 00:46:37.350 temperature difference between the heat
00:46:38.750 00:46:38.760 transfer surface and the boiling fluid
00:46:40.370 00:46:40.380 there a pool boiling curve shows various
00:46:43.790 00:46:43.800 stages of boiling I am sure that this
00:46:46.160 00:46:46.170 you must have studied in your basic heat
00:46:47.750 00:46:47.760 transfer course if you plot the pool
00:46:50.570 00:46:50.580 boiling curve that means the heat flux
00:46:52.450 00:46:52.460 okay mat per meter square versus the
00:46:56.180 00:46:56.190 superheat okay that means the
00:46:57.440 00:46:57.450 temperature difference between the
00:46:58.460 00:46:58.470 surface TS is the surface TF is a fluid
00:47:01.160 00:47:01.170 and if you gradually increase the degree
00:47:03.680 00:47:03.690 of superheat okay you get a curve this
00:47:07.760 00:47:07.770 kind of a curve right and you have
00:47:10.490 00:47:10.500 different reasons here for example the
00:47:12.109 00:47:12.119 freeze and one is known as a natural
00:47:15.710 00:47:15.720 convection region and this reason is
00:47:20.359 00:47:20.369 what is known as nucleate pool boiling
00:47:22.280 00:47:22.290 region and this is your transient
00:47:24.490 00:47:24.500 boiling region then this you have film
00:47:29.330 00:47:29.340 boiling okay then here the radiation
00:47:33.849 00:47:33.859 comes into picture okay so normally all
00:47:37.849 00:47:37.859 the evaporators or boilers are designed
00:47:41.150 00:47:41.160 to operate in this region okay this is
00:47:43.670 00:47:43.680 what is known as your nucleate pool
00:47:47.200 00:47:47.210 boiling region
00:47:51.390 00:47:51.400 okay in this reason you can see that the
00:47:55.270 00:47:55.280 heat heats lugs increases quite steeply
00:47:58.210 00:47:58.220 with the degree of superheat Delta TS
00:48:00.940 00:48:00.950 that means you get very high heat
00:48:02.650 00:48:02.660 transfer coefficient in these nucleate
00:48:05.200 00:48:05.210 pool boiling region okay and you can
00:48:07.300 00:48:07.310 also have normally you have what is
00:48:09.760 00:48:09.770 known as a critical heat flux at which
00:48:11.460 00:48:11.470 the heat flux becomes maximum at a
00:48:14.290 00:48:14.300 particular superheat okay so if you
00:48:16.750 00:48:16.760 increase the temperature difference
00:48:18.070 00:48:18.080 beyond this then the heat flux has to
00:48:23.110 00:48:23.120 fall okay and this point is also known
00:48:25.300 00:48:25.310 as burnout point which you must have
00:48:26.890 00:48:26.900 studied in the design of boiling okay so
00:48:29.470 00:48:29.480 as I said the refrigerant evaporators
00:48:32.260 00:48:32.270 are designed to operate in the nucleate
00:48:34.270 00:48:34.280 pool boiling regions so the correlations
00:48:36.940 00:48:36.950 are available for this particular region
00:48:43.920 00:48:43.930 so as I said these are already explained
00:48:47.520 00:48:47.530 so now let us look at slow boiling
00:48:49.810 00:48:49.820 boiling inside tubes is called as flow
00:48:51.790 00:48:51.800 boiling flow boiling consists of
00:48:54.310 00:48:54.320 nucleate boiling as well as convective
00:48:56.020 00:48:56.030 heat transfer that means here the
00:48:58.240 00:48:58.250 contribution to heat transfer comes from
00:49:00.130 00:49:00.140 nucleate boiling as well as due to force
00:49:02.470 00:49:02.480 convection heat transfer as the liquid
00:49:05.230 00:49:05.240 evaporates more vapor is formed which
00:49:07.510 00:49:07.520 increases the average velocity and the
00:49:09.220 00:49:09.230 convective heat transfer rate the flow
00:49:12.100 00:49:12.110 pattern changes continuously as boiling
00:49:14.560 00:49:14.570 takes place along the tube for example
00:49:17.650 00:49:17.660 in horizontal tube the flow can be
00:49:19.150 00:49:19.160 stratified flow wavy flow slug flow
00:49:21.280 00:49:21.290 annular flow mist flow okay or depending
00:49:24.490 00:49:24.500 upon the velocity of the vapour now let
00:49:28.450 00:49:28.460 us look at some correlations
00:49:29.710 00:49:29.720 correlations for nucleate pool boiling
00:49:31.270 00:49:31.280 in general x-metal there studies show
00:49:33.880 00:49:33.890 that the nucleate pool boiling heat
00:49:36.790 00:49:36.800 transfer coefficient h NB is equal to
00:49:39.580 00:49:39.590 some C into TS minus TF ^ 2 2 3 okay
00:49:43.780 00:49:43.790 where TS is the surface temperature TF
00:49:46.450 00:49:46.460 is the fluid temperature and C is the
00:49:48.790 00:49:48.800 constant the value of which depends upon
00:49:51.430 00:49:51.440 the surface fluid combination and the
00:49:54.100 00:49:54.110 exponent even though I have shown the
00:49:55.600 00:49:55.610 exponent here as the varying between 2
00:49:57.640 00:49:57.650 to 3 it can go up to 25 with treated
00:50:01.000 00:50:01.010 surfaces okay that means with enhancer
00:50:03.070 00:50:03.080 surfaces you can
00:50:04.300 00:50:04.310 very very high heat transfer coefficient
00:50:06.070 00:50:06.080 that means the exponent can go as high
00:50:09.130 00:50:09.140 as 25 few empirical correlations are
00:50:12.130 00:50:12.140 available for nucleate boiling okay this
00:50:16.750 00:50:16.760 is one of the popular correlation what
00:50:18.490 00:50:18.500 is known as erosion of correlation so
00:50:20.620 00:50:20.630 here shears is a specific heat of liquid
00:50:23.080 00:50:23.090 and delta T X is the temperature
00:50:25.120 00:50:25.130 difference between the surface and the
00:50:26.350 00:50:26.360 fluid hfz is the latent heat of
00:50:28.210 00:50:28.220 vaporization CSF is a constant which
00:50:31.360 00:50:31.370 depends on surface fluid combination
00:50:33.070 00:50:33.080 which is point zero one three for
00:50:34.480 00:50:34.490 halocarbons boiling on copper surface
00:50:37.060 00:50:37.070 okay and Q by a here is heat flux mu F
00:50:40.990 00:50:41.000 is the viscosity of the liquid hfz the
00:50:43.360 00:50:43.370 latent heat of vaporization okay
00:50:45.690 00:50:45.700 Sigma is the surface tension z is the
00:50:49.090 00:50:49.100 acceleration due to gravity Rho F and
00:50:50.920 00:50:50.930 Rosie are saturated liquid and vapor
00:50:52.450 00:50:52.460 densities PRF is a liquid prantle number
00:50:56.920 00:50:56.930 and the exponent is is one for water and
00:51:00.220 00:51:00.230 1.74 halocarbons and all the properties
00:51:02.950 00:51:02.960 have to be calculated at saturation
00:51:04.480 00:51:04.490 temperature at local pressure okay so
00:51:06.670 00:51:06.680 this is one of the oldest and very
00:51:08.890 00:51:08.900 popular correlations for nucleate pool
00:51:10.990 00:51:11.000 boiling now let us look at force
00:51:14.050 00:51:14.060 convection boiling inside tubes
00:51:15.670 00:51:15.680 roshun OV and griffith suggested that
00:51:18.100 00:51:18.110 flow boiling in tubes be analyzed as a
00:51:20.860 00:51:20.870 combination of pool boiling and force
00:51:22.690 00:51:22.700 convection that means they have obtained
00:51:24.730 00:51:24.740 heat total heat flux Q total is equal to
00:51:27.520 00:51:27.530 Q and B plus Q SC where Q and B is the
00:51:30.790 00:51:30.800 heat flux contribution because of
00:51:32.230 00:51:32.240 nucleate boiling and Q subscript SC is
00:51:35.320 00:51:35.330 the heat flux contribution because a
00:51:36.670 00:51:36.680 force convection heat flux due to
00:51:39.040 00:51:39.050 nucleate pool boiling is calculated by
00:51:41.350 00:51:41.360 using nucleate pool boiling correlations
00:51:42.880 00:51:42.890 for example rotational correlation and
00:51:44.920 00:51:44.930 heat flux due to force convection can be
00:51:47.980 00:51:47.990 calculated by using standard force
00:51:49.750 00:51:49.760 convection correlations such as liters
00:51:51.790 00:51:51.800 Boelter correlation okay so this is one
00:51:53.740 00:51:53.750 of the simpler way of handling flow
00:51:55.960 00:51:55.970 boiling okay but this is not very
00:51:59.530 00:51:59.540 accurate okay gives reasonably good
00:52:01.360 00:52:01.370 result but not extremely accurate we
00:52:03.640 00:52:03.650 also have what is known as a bopi RIF
00:52:05.620 00:52:05.630 correlation which is normally used in
00:52:07.390 00:52:07.400 refrigerants this correlation gives
00:52:09.610 00:52:09.620 average heat transfer coefficients and
00:52:11.290 00:52:11.300 is valid for inlet quality action let
00:52:14.110 00:52:14.120 varying between 0.12 0.16 that means at
00:52:17.440 00:52:17.450 the exit of
00:52:18.070 00:52:18.080 expansion valve and at the inlet to the
00:52:19.750 00:52:19.760 evaporator the refrigerant quality
00:52:21.610 00:52:21.620 should be between 0.1 to 0.16 and the
00:52:24.550 00:52:24.560 correlation is given here you can see
00:52:26.110 00:52:26.120 that here the nestle it is given for
00:52:27.880 00:52:27.890 incomplete evaporation and it also given
00:52:29.890 00:52:29.900 for complete evaporation the constant is
00:52:33.700 00:52:33.710 different constant is point zero three
00:52:35.530 00:52:35.540 zero is nine for incomplete evaporation
00:52:37.330 00:52:37.340 and it is point zero zero eight two for
00:52:39.670 00:52:39.680 complete evaporation and here re F is
00:52:42.460 00:52:42.470 the Reynolds number based on the
00:52:44.350 00:52:44.360 saturated liquid and KF is a constant
00:52:46.990 00:52:47.000 and KF is called as a load factor and it
00:52:49.660 00:52:49.670 is equal to Delta X into H F G by L
00:52:52.080 00:52:52.090 where H of G the latent heat of
00:52:54.160 00:52:54.170 vaporization Delta X is the change in
00:52:56.230 00:52:56.240 the quality and L is the length of the
00:52:58.180 00:52:58.190 tube I am sorry KF is not a constant it
00:53:00.010 00:53:00.020 depends upon the particular situation
00:53:03.820 00:53:03.830 and also the fluid being evaporated
00:53:07.380 00:53:07.390 there is another correlation called
00:53:09.460 00:53:09.470 charred oak and Brune man's correlation
00:53:11.320 00:53:11.330 again you can see the correlation here h
00:53:13.750 00:53:13.760 TP is the flow of flow boiling
00:53:15.190 00:53:15.200 correlation h le the correlation a
00:53:18.810 00:53:18.820 single-phase heat transfer coefficient
00:53:20.770 00:53:20.780 of saturated referal refrigerant liquid
00:53:22.960 00:53:22.970 them okay and Bo is the boiling number
00:53:25.540 00:53:25.550 that is given by Q by a divided by H F Z
00:53:27.910 00:53:27.920 into m dot by a where Q by a the heat
00:53:30.670 00:53:30.680 flux HF G's as I said your latent heat
00:53:34.840 00:53:34.850 of vaporization and m dot by a is the
00:53:36.940 00:53:36.950 mass flux okay and here X T T is what is
00:53:40.840 00:53:40.850 known as Lockhart and Martinelli
00:53:41.740 00:53:41.750 parameter and that is defined here when
00:53:44.470 00:53:44.480 xt t the small X stands for the quality
00:53:47.950 00:53:47.960 Rosie and Rho F for the saturated vapor
00:53:50.350 00:53:50.360 and liquid densities mu f n mu Z are the
00:53:53.020 00:53:53.030 saturated liquid and vapor viscosities
00:53:56.020 00:53:56.030 okay so this is one of the correlations
00:53:58.270 00:53:58.280 used for flow boiling of refrigerants
00:54:01.360 00:54:01.370 okay let us look at other considerations
00:54:05.800 00:54:05.810 heat transfer correlations will be
00:54:07.660 00:54:07.670 different for vertical tubes presence of
00:54:10.630 00:54:10.640 lubricating oil affects the heat
00:54:12.070 00:54:12.080 transfer coefficient and pressure
00:54:13.180 00:54:13.190 pressure drop if the oil concentration
00:54:15.250 00:54:15.260 is high heat transfer enhancement on
00:54:18.010 00:54:18.020 refrigerant side is possible by
00:54:19.540 00:54:19.550 employing force feed recirculation
00:54:21.580 00:54:21.590 integral fins turbulence promoters
00:54:23.590 00:54:23.600 treated surfaces etc however enhancement
00:54:27.790 00:54:27.800 techniques also increase pressure drop
00:54:29.410 00:54:29.420 that means we have to optimize
00:54:31.749 00:54:31.759 enhancement techniques so that you get
00:54:33.429 00:54:33.439 high heat transfer coefficient at the
00:54:34.749 00:54:34.759 same time the pressure drop is not very
00:54:36.579 00:54:36.589 high okay so these are the
00:54:38.189 00:54:38.199 considerations now let us quickly look
00:54:40.449 00:54:40.459 at what is known as a Wilson's plot this
00:54:43.719 00:54:43.729 is a technique to determine the
00:54:45.189 00:54:45.199 individual heat transfer coefficients
00:54:46.899 00:54:46.909 from the exponential data on heat
00:54:48.489 00:54:48.499 exchangers for example condensers and
00:54:50.229 00:54:50.239 evaporators okay so from the X mental
00:54:52.389 00:54:52.399 data on these heat exchangers we can
00:54:55.179 00:54:55.189 find individual heat transfer
00:54:56.709 00:54:56.719 coefficients for example take a water
00:54:59.259 00:54:59.269 cooled condenser a number of tests can
00:55:02.139 00:55:02.149 be conducted by varying the flow rate of
00:55:03.789 00:55:03.799 water and measuring the inlet and outlet
00:55:05.589 00:55:05.599 water temperatures from energy balance
00:55:08.949 00:55:08.959 we have this equation QC is equal to M
00:55:11.289 00:55:11.299 MW CPW into delta T for the water side
00:55:14.339 00:55:14.349 which can be measured and this is equal
00:55:16.959 00:55:16.969 to u naught a naught into L MTD since L
00:55:18.999 00:55:19.009 MTD can be obtained because we are
00:55:20.409 00:55:20.419 measuring the temperatures a naught is
00:55:22.419 00:55:22.429 known so from this expression you can
00:55:23.889 00:55:23.899 find out the overall heat transfer
00:55:25.149 00:55:25.159 coefficient from the experimental
00:55:26.229 00:55:26.239 measurements with negligible scale
00:55:29.620 00:55:29.630 formation the expression for u naught is
00:55:31.359 00:55:31.369 given here
00:55:32.079 00:55:32.089 okay this we have discussed in the last
00:55:33.729 00:55:33.739 class this is our expression for u
00:55:35.169 00:55:35.179 naught and if the water temperature does
00:55:37.209 00:55:37.219 not vary significantly then property
00:55:39.159 00:55:39.169 variation will be negligible and if the
00:55:41.259 00:55:41.269 flow is turbulent then the internal heat
00:55:43.419 00:55:43.429 transfer coefficient that is on the
00:55:44.499 00:55:44.509 water side is the proportional to V to
00:55:47.139 00:55:47.149 the power of 0.8 that means H I can be
00:55:49.239 00:55:49.249 written as some C into V to the power of
00:55:51.370 00:55:51.380 0.8 okay as long as the property
00:55:54.039 00:55:54.049 variation is not considerable and heat
00:55:57.129 00:55:57.139 transfer coefficient on refrigerant side
00:55:58.809 00:55:58.819 and wall resistance remain almost
00:56:00.459 00:56:00.469 constant because we are not varying the
00:56:02.169 00:56:02.179 refrigerant side flow rate or the
00:56:03.909 00:56:03.919 operating conditions then a plot of 1 by
00:56:08.139 00:56:08.149 u naught versus 1 by V to the power of
00:56:09.819 00:56:09.829 point 8 will be a straight line okay so
00:56:13.929 00:56:13.939 if you plot 1 by u naught okay versus 1
00:56:18.279 00:56:18.289 by V to the power of point 8 then you
00:56:20.889 00:56:20.899 get a straight line like this and the
00:56:22.659 00:56:22.669 intercept gives you the resistance on
00:56:25.870 00:56:25.880 the refrigerant side plus wall
00:56:28.120 00:56:28.130 resistance because that remains constant
00:56:29.649 00:56:29.659 whereas the resistance on the water side
00:56:32.409 00:56:32.419 will be varying because the velocity of
00:56:34.449 00:56:34.459 the water is varying okay from the
00:56:38.979 00:56:38.989 intercept we can calculate the
00:56:40.299 00:56:40.309 condensing heat transfer coefficient as
00:56:41.739 00:56:41.749 the resistance of wall can be easily for
00:56:44.100 00:56:44.110 the exponent will be different for oil
00:56:46.390 00:56:46.400 cooled condensers that means for
00:56:47.830 00:56:47.840 air-cooled condenser it can be done with
00:56:49.150 00:56:49.160 a door water or any other fluid you have
00:56:51.160 00:56:51.170 to use 0.65 in + of point 8 following
00:56:54.670 00:56:54.680 resistance can be included if its values
00:56:56.350 00:56:56.360 is known ok so this is the very useful
00:56:58.570 00:56:58.580 concept and it is normally used for
00:57:00.310 00:57:00.320 obtaining the condensing heat transfer
00:57:01.990 00:57:02.000 coefficients etcetera okay so at this
00:57:04.000 00:57:04.010 point I stop this lecture okay so we
00:57:07.060 00:57:07.070 have completed the discussion on
00:57:08.980 00:57:08.990 evaporators so I will continue this in
00:57:11.020 00:57:11.030 the next lecture thank you
